Plan to add information on Naegleria fowleri presence in the United States

edit

Will add information over some of the major studies done on National Parks and Large bodies of water in which the microbe in question has been found. --Alfonzaux (talk) 00:59, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

minimally chlorinated concentration seems wrong

edit

"poorly maintained or minimally chlorinated (under 0.5 mg/m3 residual)" is probably mistaken, and should be 0.5g/m3 or 0.5mg/l.

Minimum chlorine concentration in pools seems to be around 1ppm according to https://ncceh.ca/documents/practice-scenario/pool-chlorination-and-closure-guidelines

Improving structure and quality of this article

edit

I strongly suggest anyone with enough time to improve this article consult this peer-reviewed review paper on the subject:

De Jonckheere, J.F., 2011. Origin and evolution of the worldwide distributed pathogenic amoeboflagellate Naegleria fowleri. Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 11(7), pp.1520-1528.

Most of the (many) missing citations in this article can be found in this paper. trees (talk) 23:14, 17 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
